  • Knowledge of Linux-based development and deployment.
  • Experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, Webots, or similar).
  • Familiarity with software development best practices (version control, CI/CD, testing frameworks).

Preferred Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering for robotics, automation, or embedded systems.
  • Experience with ROS, middleware communication (e.g., DDS, ZeroMQ, MQTT), and distributed systems.
  • Experience with underwater robotics or marine autonomy.
